Mafia to Mormon: My Conversion Story

By Mario Facione

Book Overview

Thus began Mario Facione's slow descent into the Mafia world. With a desire to please his father, Facione kept the rules taught him - don't get caught, know your people. . never let them have control of what you're doing, and never let anyone fully know what you're up to.

So when two clean-cut young men in dark suits showed up on his doorstep, Facione's main concern was to figure out the scam they were selling. Instead, he became surprisingly relaxed as these two answered every question he had unsuccessfully asked other clergymen. He learned real truth and began a journey towards knowledge. Yes, there is a reason why we are here on earth; yes, you can re-remember who we are and yes, it's true, Heavenly Father still speaks through a modern-day prophet.

Mario Facione's story is one man's extraordinary journey through the darkness into the light. Reading his story will confirm again that the gospel is truly for every child of God who is willing to change . . even someone who wants to go from Mafia to Mormon.

I couldn't put it down. Not a literary masterpiece, but a fascinating, enjoyable, and inspiring story.

Mezmorized

I picked this up and the library during lunch and finished the book before going to bed that night. I'm NOT a reader either. That's how into this book I was. I found the story fascinating and uplifting. Many miracles were at work in Mario's life. Thanks for sharing your testimony Mario.

Could not put it down

Fascinating. Started with chapter one and could not put it down. I only wish I could know more about this man's life. I'm going to give it out to the young men I work with in my church. A marvelous and uplifting story.
